Hello world

'Hello world!!!' - it is the first phrase that we write when learn a new programming language. I say, - 'Hello world!!!' in my first blog post. Here, in my blog I'm going to discuss Vim and Java. I want to create many tools for java development in Vim. I'm a fan of Vim and I'm a fan of Java. I don't understand why marvellous editor like Vim has so few features for editing and exploring Java programs. Why do we need IDE's with complex API for creating plugins and extremely simple text editors? Vim has simple API and good number of features for editing source code. Why not to implement necessary components for convenient refactoring and code exploration within Vim? I think this is task that deserves to be done. I've started with Fleiner's JTags(http://www.fleiner.com/jtags/) and adopted it for Java1.5 with Javaparser(http://code.google.com/p/javaparser/). My Jtags creates tags only for classes. I'm going to implement creating tags for methods, but in fact resource of this tool(tags) is limited. We can only point out places of the word under the cursor. But what we have now in contemporary IDE it is context dependant jumps. We jump to the implementation of the method of this particular variable right before the cursor. So we need something more complicated. Some of you can say - 'but we have VJDE'. I agree, VJDE is the most powerful tool on the Vim+Java scene, but it is still less powerful in code refactoring and exploration.
